Summary:Udgivelsesdato: 2004-Sep In 1992, the Greenland Home Rule Government took over the responsibility for health care. There has since been a growing cooperation between the Directorate of Health and researchers in Denmark and Greenland, for instance by the Directorate supporting workshops and funding a chair in health research.

The results have been widely used by politicians, administrators, and health care professionals.
